Most of the body’s weight is in the heel of the hand while in positions on the floor like a pushup or downward dog. The amount of wrist extension required to sustain these positions is often what causes wrist pain. Our innovative design changes the angle of the wrist during weight bearing exercises which creates a biomechanically correct position for the hand.

By having a wedge that places the heel of the hand higher than the fingers, the distribution of body weight shifts. The degree of wrist extension lessens, decreasing pressure on the wrist.

We consulted with a variety of professionals; biomechanists, kinesiologists, orthopedic surgeons, and chiropractors. All corroborated what our research suggested. Both people with or without wrist problems will benefit by using the wrist wedge.
